I wonder if track 16 is her take on the Isley's Motown anthem. If so, it could be interesting.

looks like its a 'downtempo' version.......nonetheless...its still mighty soulful....1973 version...

So it is a version of the Isley's classic given a Bettye / Southern Soul type edge ......   I like it.  

I can't see what company its from, so i'm assuming its Rhino?

Here's the details .........  Release: January 7, 2014   .....    Label: Real Gone Music

Track 11....................superb.!

Track 11....................superb.!

I've always been surprised this hasn't really picked up on this earlier (yes I know people have played it....).  I think it's a better song and probably rarer than KMLG, although it's never (previously) commanded a high price.  I assume its going to be the 3min version rather than that too overlong remix.

Wow - at long last!!!  Why she was never worthy of an album on Atlantic at the time I'll never know!  I have had three playlists on my itunes for some time now called 'The Complete Atlantic Recordings of'- Bettye, Sam Dees and the Soul Brothers Six.  Only need the SB6 now.

 

Glad to see the the two duets with Dees included - sadly missing from his recent CD offering.
